APPEAL OPFIcR,
TUESDAY EVENING. September u, 1887.
Money remains firm at per cent,
but there is an easier feeling In the
market.
The local cotton market closed
steady. New Orleans spots closed
weak and irregular and futures
closed steady, and advanced from 8 to
8 points over the close Of yesterday.
At New York spots closed easy and
futures steady, September up points
and the later months advanced 2 to 8
points. @. L. Green & Co., OF New
York, in their report Of the 9th, stste
that contracts found more active
AID feverish market, with numerous
pretty sharp fluctuations. After some
hesitation at the opening prices took
the upward turn and gained an irregu.
lar advance Of 8 to s points over last
evening, or some o to IL points from
the morning figure. subst q1ently a
desire to realize led to reaction OF
4 to 8 points, but at the close there
wis a stiff ming again and the feeling
pretty steady"
The Liverpool market clo:e dull in
buyers favor. Middling uplsnds de.
clined I'd, and middling Orleans 1.161.

the influence OF the liberal receipts.
Cotton has come pouring into the
ports with unchecked volume. The az.
gregate supply up to Friday evening,
since September LIST, amounted to
4l7,737 bales, or 1sl, SIT bales ahead Of
the 90 responding period last year, and
the figures at the interior
towns, as premonition OF
what may be expected to follow,
indicate that the flow Of supplies is as
yet unchecked. The winding up Of
the September deal Is now at hand, II
not practically completed, and the
prediction that II would 20 out about

be verified.
As to the grocery trade. the specu-
latlve element Is corfiaed almost
wholly TO the coffee deal.

ONE CURE FOB HEADACHE.
Opening Mans Skull and Extracting q
Tumor.
New York Times
New York Times.


A somewhat extraordinary cure for
headache was resorted to at the New
York hospital on Thursday, when Profess
sor r F. Weir and two assistant PROBES
sors went hunting about inside the
Uranium of a patient for q suspected tu-
NOR, and were finally rewarded with the
discovery OF something that looked ab-
normal, and which, the operator declared,
must necessarily be g tumor, and which
was accordingly removed after the
heroic operation known as trephin-
Ing had been accomplished. Yes
terday afternoon the man at the
desk IN the hospital office, on Fifteenth
street, cautiously sckno wledged to & re-
porter that the man from whose brain an
abnormal something "wnich must be a
tumor" had been removed was doing IS
we'll as "could be expected" but,
although he subsequently insisted that ne
was doing "qulte WE'LL" 1t was evident
that publicity about the surgical feat was
not being nearly so eagerly sought as
shortly after the operation took place.
The patient, man of thirty-hve, of
below the medium size, had been COM
plaining of headache and p rtial

decided that he had a tumor in the
motor region of his brain, and pro-
ceeded, with the assistance of two medi-
cal brethren, and four trained nurses, to
hunt it down. A semi circular flap OF
the scalp was lifted, after which the
trephine was applied to the skull above
the left temple, and button Of bone re-
moved. An important artery was cut in
the operatlon-a complication which is
very seldom heard Of in connection with
trephining-and the patient was bleeding
to death fast, and would have done SO,
the surgeons being unable to stop the
hemorrhage, had not means OF relief
commonly employed in Bellevue hospital
been tried as a last resort with complete
ly satisfactory results.
The p,tient's life having been saved
the hunt for the tumor was begun, snd
after the dura mater had been removed it
was found that the brain cortex beneath
was somewhat redder than usual and
that it felt rather firmer than was ex-
pected. 1t was decided that an abDor'
nal growth was present, and that il
necessarily must DE the tumor they were
hunting for. 1t WGs accordingly removed
from the brain, the bleeding from the
wound W s stanched, and ell was done to
make the patient, who had, OF course.
been etherized before the operation begsn
So comfortable as possible.

Count Joachim Pfell, the German Afri-

of 8 mysterious creature seen on the
coast OF the Ulan district: eve often

believed to be serpent, from its move

and then it appeared on the surface for o

succeeded in obtsining one OF the
curious creatures. 1t WAS about the size
of q large tame duck, with black plum
age and a metallic luster. On its wings
we noticed few very light yellow feath-
eIs. The neck was very long and thin,
and ended in long, pointed beak, at the
edge OF which were two rows OF sharp
teeth. At first sight no head was visible,
and the neck appeared to end only in q

neck being seen. II it WAS frightened it
